Who Sells

Roland Ruiz — Licensed General Contractor and Real Estate Advisor, South Florida
20 Years Building It. 7 Years Selling It.
One Advisor Who Understands Both.

Most real estate agents can tell you what a home sold for. I can tell you what it cost to build, what's wrong with it, what it will cost to fix, and whether the deal makes financial sense — before you commit to anything. That combination doesn't exist anywhere else in South Florida real estate.

Two Careers.
One Unfair
Advantage.

Every real estate transaction has two components that most agents only half-understand: the financial deal and the physical asset. An agent who can analyze a cap rate but can't read a framing plan is half an advisor. An agent who knows construction but can't underwrite a deal is the other half.

After 20 years as a licensed General Contractor building and renovating South Florida properties — and 7 years as a commercial and residential real estate advisor — I'm the complete picture. I've personally swung the hammer, pulled the permits, managed the subcontractors, read the plans, and closed the deals. That dual experience is my clients' advantage at every stage of a transaction.

Six Ways a GC Background
Changes Your Transaction
🏗️
Pre-Drywall Inspection
I attend your new construction pre-drywall walkthrough as a licensed contractor — examining framing, hurricane connections, plumbing rough-in, and moisture barriers before walls close. This costs you nothing extra.
💰
Accurate Renovation Budgets
I build line-item renovation budgets the same way I built construction budgets for 20 years — by trade, with real South Florida subcontractor pricing. Not rules of thumb. Not guesses.
🔍
Permit & Code Research
I pull Miami-Dade permit records, identify unpermitted work, assess 40-year recertification risk, and evaluate code compliance issues before you make an offer. Surprises after closing are expensive.
📊
Investment Underwriting
Cap rate analysis, rent roll review, NOI reconstruction, and renovation-adjusted return projections — built by someone who can also estimate the cost of every line item in the renovation. That's rare.
⚖️
Negotiation Leverage
When I identify a $45,000 remediation issue at pre-drywall, I don't just flag it — I document it, price it, and use it as a negotiating tool. Construction knowledge translates directly into better deal terms.
🌀
South Florida Context
20 years building in Miami-Dade means I know hurricane load requirements, Miami 21 zoning code, Miami-Dade permitting, high water table conditions, and the specific failure patterns of every construction era. This market is unlike anywhere else.
Built From
The Ground
Up

I didn't enter real estate from a corporate background or a family business. I built my way here — literally. Over 20 years as a licensed General Contractor in South Florida, I developed a comprehensive understanding of how buildings are constructed, what makes them valuable, and what makes them liabilities.

I've seen what happens inside walls that buyers never see. I've managed crews through hurricane seasons, navigated Miami-Dade's complex permitting system, dealt with aging infrastructure and code compliance issues, and built everything from single-family homes to commercial mixed-use projects.

When I transitioned into real estate, I brought all of that with me. My clients don't get a salesperson — they get an advisor who can walk into a property and tell them in plain language what they're actually buying.

I'm based in South Florida and I treat every client like family. I answer my own phone. I show up to every inspection. I stay involved through closing and beyond. That's not marketing language — it's how I've built my business one relationship at a time.
